What I am saying is that 1 sec auto-attack is way too fast when you take into consideration that there will be haste spells and multi-hit.. like try to fit a 4 hits animation with a 50% haste buff so that's like 4 hits in .5 sec? way too glitchy, I'd rather have slower base auto-attack. Also, the abilities used resets the auto-attack I think in the video.

All of this is arbitrary honestly... It doesn't matter if you attack once every 10 seconds if you're then given 10 seconds worth of TP, or if you attack every 1 second and only given 1 seconds worth of tp.

The person I quoted outlined perfectly why the base auto attack speed MUST be slower than what everyone wants. Otherwise Haste effects become useless, and why the Devs will not place the speed so low to begin with.

And someone was asking whether multi hit weapons were going to be implemented, there is a dev post somewhere mentioning that matsui was interested in adding these, and I would be willing to bet Haste will be a spell regardless of whether there's a stam bar/auto attack or not.
